WASHINGTON -- The Brewers are in desperate need of some power. They’ve been getting by with their typical small ball so far, taking advantage of their opponents’ miscues -- it’s how they toppled the Nationals in the first two games of their three-game set in Washington over the weekend. But

WASHINGTON -- The Brewers were expecting to gain a pair of Major Leaguers off the IL on Monday. Instead, it’s looking like they’ll only get one back.

WASHINGTON -- The Brewers needed one thing entering Saturday’s game vs. the Nationals: depth from starting pitcher Kyle Harrison. Between Milwaukee’s finale vs. Arizona on Thursday and the series opener vs. Washington on Friday, the Crew’s bullpen had thrown 11 2/3 innings. (Of course, in doing so the relief corps

WASHINGTON -- For a second straight rehab start, it was control issues that struck Quinn Priester. The right-hander, who is on a rehab assignment while recovering from thoracic outlet syndrome, went two-plus innings in his third start, facing one batter in the third inning of Triple-A Nashville’s 6-5 loss to

WASHINGTON -- Jacob Misiorowski was cruising past the Nationals’ lineup on Friday night. Through five innings he hadn’t allowed a hit, had allowed just two baserunners on a pair of walks and had racked up seven strikeouts.

WASHINGTON -- In a not-entirely-surprising move ahead of their series opener vs. the Nationals, the Brewers placed Brandon Woodruff on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation on Friday. The club recalled right-hander Easton McGee from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

WASHINGTON -- For a second straight game, and the Major League-leading 16th time this season, the Nationals scored at least five runs.

WASHINGTON -- It was a perfect storm of destiny for the Nationals. Zack Littell entered Friday’s series opener against the Giants tied with teammate Jake Irvin for the most homers allowed in MLB since the start of last season (41). On the other side, San Francisco arrived in D.C. in

WASHINGTON -- In a both surprising and, in retrospect, unsurprising move, the Nationals optioned right-handed reliever Orlando Ribalta to Triple-A Rochester on Friday prior to Washington's series opener vs. San Francisco at Nationals Park. The move freed up a spot on the active roster for lefty reliever Richard Lovelady, whom

CHICAGO -- The Nationals, in their first season with a revamped front office and coaching staff, set their 2026 Opening Day roster. Moving forward throughout the season, expect that group to frequently have a different look. "Things have been changing every day," manager Blake Butera said prior to the Nationals'

BALTIMORE -- As a handful of injuries hit the Orioles’ outfield at the end of Spring Training, with the statuses of Dylan Beavers (right knee discomfort) and Heston Kjerstad (right hamstring tightness) both questionable ahead of Opening Day, another question mark was brought into play during the club’s 8-1 exhibition

BALTIMORE -- The Nationals acquired infielder Jorbit Vivas from the Yankees in exchange for Washington’s No. 27 prospect, right-hander Sean Paul Liñan, the team announced on Sunday. Right-handed pitcher Griff McGarry was designated for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Vivas. Hailing from Puerto Cabello, Venezuela,

BALTIMORE -- For the first time since the Nationals arrived in Washington, D.C., in 2005, both the Orioles and Nats have a first-year manager to start the season. Better yet, these two new “Battle of the Beltways” managers have known each other for a decade.

WASHINGTON -- For players on non-contending teams, there’s one goal for September: finish strong and set the tone for the offseason. Hurston Waldrep did just that on Wednesday afternoon, falling one strikeout shy of matching his career high in Atlanta’s 9-4 series finale win over Washington at Nationals Park. The

WASHINGTON -- Neither a two-hour rain delay prior to first pitch nor consistent rain early in Game 2 of the Braves’ split doubleheader vs. the Nats mattered to Chris Sale on Tuesday night. The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner did what he does best: he shoved.

WASHINGTON -- For the first time since September 2023, when he set the Braves’ single-season record for home runs, Matt Olson homered in four straight games. A fifth, though, was not meant to be. Olson went yard to cap a five-run fourth inning for Atlanta in its 6-3 win in

WASHINGTON -- When Matt Olson crushed a three-run homer in the top of the fifth inning on Monday night at Nationals Park, it wasn’t just any home run. It was his fifth homer in his past nine games, and his third straight game with a home run. The last time

WASHINGTON -- Anyone around the Nationals when Nasim Nuñez is in the Majors will tell you, he is an entity unto himself. Earlier this season, Nuñez endeared himself to some when he dropped the phrase “aura farming” in an on-field interview. Shortly after, he also said the team had known

WASHINGTON -- No matter what happens this offseason, Brandon Lowe will be remembered in Rays history. Lowe, who has a club option for 2026, hit his fifth career grand slam (all with Tampa Bay) in the Rays’ 7-4 victory over the Nats in the series finale on Sunday afternoon at
